#poorer family

[themoonking]

i know its been years but actually im never going to get over psyche being illiterate because not only is it really yikes that the one (1) character of color in this neon rainbow hellscape cannot fucking read, but its a perfect example just how little research into ancient greek culture and religion rachel smythe actually does bc a single google search will tell you that psyche, as a wealthy woman of high social status, would have absolutely been taught how to read and write.

#her sisters talking about how eros teaching her to read / write is shameful as if all three of them wouldn't have been taught at home?? #granted they might not use it a bunch in day to day life #and if they were from a poorer family its believable that they wouldn't be taught at all #but in myth psyche is a princess. idk what she is in lo but she's v wealthy. that bitch is not illiterate #i speak #anti lore olympus #lore olympus critical #even IF she didn't know how her sisters wouldn't view it as shameful like???

treech and lamina are an everlark parallel

#tbosas #movie treech is peeta joining the pack to protect lamina/katniss #but. to me #book treech has katniss' morals is from a poorer part of the district and has a younger sister #lamina has peetas strength empathy and a sucky family #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #thg #treech tbosas #lamina tbosas #treemina #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #everlark

i know sex education was a big deal when it came out and was meant to be an educational show but like, it's so innoffensive to the point of being bland, like these characters have no meaningful flaws.

#ramble.txt #sex education #for instance eric who is one of the most fledge out characters says to otis “we never talk about how my family is poorer than yours” but #he NEVER has money issues in the show at all #only maeve has money issues but she never gets left out of things for being poor #sex education s4 #sex education spoilers #and dont get me started on the stupid jealosy arcs #we had TWO this season from het bois jealous of their girlfriends for them having a male close friend and like #the nuances of that jealousy are not explored at all #and you could make that storyline happen with just one couple not two #sosososo many things are half assed in this show and it's nothing new

Im getting,, a fic prompt but I'm still in a writers block this sucks :')

P basic idea of Soukoku getting into the entertainment industry at a young age but ahhh there's so much I would explore with it

#Chuuya getting into the industry as a child to help his family's financial situation #Chuuya who gets utterly dehumanizing by the people he's working for and with and fans alike #Chuuya struggling with his humanity and seeing himself as a person because of how people just see him as an object to entertain them #And the only person who actually treats him like a person is Dazai who understands his situation as another child entertainer #Chuuya working for the sake of his family coming from a poorer life and subjecting himself to this for their sake #Dazai who is the child of two celebrities excepted to join the entertainment industry because of their legacy but at the same time #Having huge expectations and harsh critics because of his parents' legacy #Both of them finding comfort in each other as much as they'll never admit it #dazai osamu #chuuya nakahara #skk #soukoku #bungo stray dogs #bsd #bungou stray dogs

I'm imagining a-Lan trying to get along with her in-laws - how does that work? does Lan Fang have any sibs or is it just his parents?

I've always imagined Lan Fang to have either a younger sister or a much older sister who moved to the women's side of the Cloud Recesses before he was born, but I haven't put much thought into what she or his parents would be like, except that Lan Fang received his mother's family name so that he could become an inner member of the clan (his father is a non-cultivating carpenter who spends most of his time working on commissions at his workshop in Caiyi).

#asks #lan fang's father comes from a family that usually practices ruzhui marriage #not in the sense of poorer men marrying into the homes of wealthier brides #but in the sense that the family businesses were usually left in the hands of daughters #and that sons either struck out on their own or joined other families as matrilocal husbands #lan fang's sister takes over dad's business as a cultivating woodworker #which is why his mom and grandparents are the only family members living at the cloud recesses full-time by the time he marries a-lan #reference #lan fang

A man with four Teslas wanted me to watch his children for free... I have more self respect than that 🙃

#the way poorer/middle class families will go out of their way to pay me fairly for childcare #but these rich fucks are like ohh free babysitting yay!! #fuck you lol

@rvrend dialed : " orel, don't you think that something a bit smaller would be easier to paint ? and less money ... what about a, uh — what about rocks ?! there's rocks all over the place to paint — oh ! or tomatoes ! they might be a little soft around the edges but nothin' a little creativity can't fix. "

˗ˏˋ 🐕 ― EASTER SUNDAY ✮

He  had  been  too  busy  ,  rambling  endlessly  in  excitement  .  Today  was  a  very  special  day  of  course  !  Orel  was  searching  amongst  the  pile  of  watermelons  for  THE  BEST  of  all  watermelons  so  that  he  could  paint  it .  Finally,  he was  snapped  out  of  tunnel-focus  . 

❝  Huh  ?   ❞ He's  so  accustom  to  living  amongst  a  financially  well-off  household  he  hadn't  noticed  the  good  reverend's  worriment  until  now  .   ❝ ...❞

Eyes  catching  the  price  of  the  painting  eggs  substitute  Orel  places  the  watermelon  he  was  inspecting  back  onto  the  top  of  the  pile  .   His  heart  changes  it's  desire  to  find  the  largest  ,  prettiest  melon  in  the  stack  .  Reasoning  that  Jesus  would  have  appreciated  the  thought  in  any  case   and  he  could  see  that  his  found  parent  was  concerned  .  He's  starting  to  notice  others  emotions  more  often  these  days  .    ❝   Okay  ,  Reverend  .   Lets  go look  for  a  nice  rock  in  the  park  .  ❞

Ebegging again because my work really screwed up my hours this week so I'm only getting 11.5 hours for a whole work week + paycheck which is barely even enough to get me through until the next paycheck, not to mention I have to cancel my birthday celebration that I was looking forward to because I simply won't have enough money. I also won't be able to pay rent due to this drastic decrease of hours and I won't be able to get groceries worth a crap. I live paycheck to paycheck. I'm disabled and my work screws up my hours all the time and it really fucks me up and I haven't been able to do jack crap like car repairs because I can't even afford groceries, gas, and rent along with bills and it's really taking a mental toll on me. Any amount helps I will really appreciate it. Please dm for information. I'm desperate and hungry and I'm just so tired of this shit. I'm on no government assistance, I get denied time and time again, I really need the kindness of strangers in order to make it through. Thank you.

#vent #please help #im so hungry #im suicidal as fuck because of this shit #i dont have family i can turn to #i have no one all my friends are just as poor or poorer than me so they cant help either

i am rereading a bunch of the arc 2 books (super bored) and honestly..why does NOBODY ever draw the side characters from these...like onyx, sirocco and rattlesnake, vulture, cobra, TYPHOON...... liosten to me

#im just picking them up and putting them down #i think darkness of dragons is a little odd in the way it handles #poverty and crime in the scorpion den #but qiblis family is really compelling...i really missed vulture i hated him so much #and cobra #fucking crying #i felt for qibli because i forgot she was just being nice to him to get his trust #it made me so fucking upset #also tui is not as bad of a writer as i remember #i think the protagonists are really bland #i get bored listening to. winter and qibli and moon babble all the time #and qibli becomes a kind of milquetoast pov when he stops doing his like...analysis #overthinking thing #though i guess you could put that down to his character development and becoming more relaxed BUT #THATS NEVER STATED #AND ALSO HE HAS NO REASON TO RELAX OVER THE COURSE OF DOD #but umm back to what i said about the scorpion den #its kind of gross and really revealing what tui about poverty or areas of poverty with the scorp den #there are definitely exceptions to some things ill say but #1. winter being a total dick about the poorer dragons in the sd and never getting anything for it and never having that challenged #LITERALLY CALLING A QIBLI A STREET THUG #and its just accepted by qibli being like #Well hes a prince. I guess he cant help it. I guess #2. the outclaws come off weird to me #and its weird how every dragon thats not an outclaw or accepted into them (usually translating to #special and smart and educated or having special talents) #is listed off as just being like. dumb and poor #but im especially thinking about sirocco and rattlensnake who are like #just as much victims of circumstance as qibli with a shitty mom but its fine because theyre stupid and violent #it feels like tuis going. Theres so many criminals and peddlers and p**rs in the scorpion den but qibli is special and good and should be li

I'm so tired of being depressed. it's never really been managed and every year it gets worse and worse. this is probably some of the most depressed I've been in my entire life. it feel so stupid saying I'm depressed, I feel pathetic. I feel like it's just attention seeking or that I'm not actually but I can't pretend I'm not anymore. it doesn't feel valid because I have a mostly good family

#im just so so tired. i dont want to get out of bed. i cant paint. i cant draw. i cant write or journal more than once every three or four #weeks. i dont want to go out. i dont want to be home. i dont want to open my eyes #i havent practiced or done any of my craft in nearly seven months #if not more. i feel worthless. i feel like a failure. all i do is worry about money. #im tired of having to cut corners and watch my family struggle year by year getting poorer and poorer #im tired of this disgusting rundown shithole rental. i want a home. #i want to go to college but i know i will never be able to. i cant afford it and my family needs me home #ill never work a job i love. ill never have a home. ill never truly be happy. ill always be scared. ill always feel lonely #even when im surrounded by people. #im so tired #i want to go home but i dont even know where that is anymore

I worked so hard on my old rich people's favorite young person persona, I cannot go back anymore...

#i just had an interview for a library in a suburban town that’s not the ghetto but not rich either #the kind of town i've lived in my whole life #and after 2min i thought nope... #just to be clear i don't hate poor people and i have the most respect for people who work in poor neighborhoods #they should be paid a lot more than business people #but i personally just can't do it #my parents are middle class and on the poorer side of the middle but since i was a child i noticed old rich people liked me #and i leaned into that a lot #i literally got an apartment in a rich town with a balcony even though my salary is a joke because i ran into the owners when i visited it #and they thought i was a very nice and respectable young lady #like that's my whole thing!!! #anyway it used to be kind of a joke in my family but now it's just who i am i look like i've never known any struggle in life

lol @ my parents and specifically my dad being so brainwashed by capitalism that every country that didn't subscribe to its system was always poor and deserved to be and the global south was never ramsacked by america or had any cia coups and i'm making it all up and capitalism is a good and pure system and the incredibly skewed and corrupt and incorrect view of communism they have because of traumatic personal experience is the only fact and ONLY type of communism to ever exist which makes them more qualified to talk about it than thousands of authors and teachers who have both experienced and studied it in an unbiased way for decades with entire degrees. I hate capitalism and the way its poisoned my parents minds so thoroughly that the entire idea of capitalism being a system that everyone is born under and forced to participate in with inherently unfair advantages is impossible to fathom. surely america is just rich because the system works and we were only self sufficient! BECAUSE WE PLUNDERED EVERYONE ELSE?

#ooc #political #sorry for the rant i'm actually furious rn that you can look at people from smaller countries and go the system we forced them into to #to work in poorer jobs that force them to serve others from richer countries is actually a good opportunity for them #DIE. #it makes me so mad you can experience poverty and still say it's fair for others to be born into it. #you think it's natural for others to be dirt poor and some to just have it? that it grows on trees? #that god decides whether you have running water or are born in america? #god i want to die. #meanwhile stupid ass dad says everything i learned in university was wrong bc of his personal experience #that everything i read is wrong #that the actual communist manifesto is WRONG? #when there's no right or wrong to it it's an IDEAL #his bias is so intense he has to label a different political alignment as horribly wrong #yeah. as opposed to the ongoing war crime that is capitalism #nevermind how unbelievably racist it is as well #i'm just fucking furious. i hate this family. i said i was so disappointed that i could have such productive discussions in school #with my teachers and fellow students even if they disagreed #and i come to my parents who tout themselves as scholars who pride on education above all #and they talk like fascists #it's just....it's so humiliating. and upsetting knowing they would kiss the ass of a system that actively has harmed so many people #and they can still say that's all of their own fault for not investing #that money is something you can get if you just work #and times haven't changed at all! #i can't bear it here.

hate hate hate rät by penelope scott so much how dare you strip the meaning behind selmers' poem and use it for yr song that inevitably did the exact opposite of what she wrote her poem for I hate rhe world

#I dont CARE if it fits into the theme of wanting to kill Elon musk or whatever the poem is about knowing how you #are never going to make it in a society that continuously digs bigger holes for poorer people that they can never seem to climb themselves #out of. where your whole generation was fucked from the start because of some trust fund baby that made a phone app #“made more money in a day than my family over 100 generations” DOES THIS NOT MAKE SENSE TO YOU #penelope scott dug herself out od that hole BECAUSE of the song and its advertised everywhere and injust grgrggrgrgrrrrr I can't stand it #you wrote the song KNOWING it'd be a hit. theres no way it just “blew up” one day. you played the system. you knew what you were doing #sorry. I dont know what came over me

There’s a specific type of grief you get from losing friends and family members who are trying to distance themselves from poverty.

#idk how to explain it but #I Never See or speak to my older sister #and so I have no relationship at all with my nieces #she also barely speaks to my dad outside of necessity #she’s way older than me too so I don’t know how her upbringing was because we have different mums #but I know they weren’t well off and now she’s bought hard into being the white Christian nuclear family #and also I’ve lost out on potential relationships with aunts uncles cousins etc #bc my parents don’t like the ‘way they live’ #bc they work minimum wage jobs and live in small flats or council houses #and their big sin is being poorer than us #or poor in thw wrong way

i might actually cry from how tired i am

#personal #i love my family and also the way they do not understand how my chronic fatigue literally drains me #and how when they keep trying to hang out on a weekly basis for weeks/months on end that pushes me away #cause i dont get to rest during the week like they do! #like yes we're all struggling under capitalism and also like babes!! i am poorer!!! #i literally spend 12 hours a day alone on work and work related things (ie: transiting to/from work #and prepping for the day/closing oht my day/etc) #and i dont WANT to spend this much time doing this but i cant drive and rely on transit so like #i literally cannot think past that sentence rn #im so exhausted my head feels thick like im gonna pass out any second #and i have to be at work for at least 30 more min before i can dip w/o too many issues #i have chills from being tired #i cant stop yawning #and i guarantee when i get home i wont be able to sleep bc my apartment sucks and doesnt have AC and its hot #also i have so many chores to do
